Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Wwc2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Domain with 2 conserved Trp (W) residues
- kinase binding
- Hyaluronan mediated motility receptor N-terminal
- WW
- protein binding activity, bridging
